Sociolinguistics is the study of how language and society interact and influence each other. It examines how social factors like class, age, gender, ethnicity, and context impact language use through social dialects, registers, and jargon. Social dialects in particular develop based on social groups and have rules and norms determined by factors such as class, education level, age, gender, and ethnic background which are expressed through variations in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar.
The results of our group discussion on sociolinguistics. We take this material from several book references. We uploaded this presentation with the aim that we can learn together especially sociolinguistics. We hope that readers can understand the contents of the material. There are many mistakes please forgive us. Thank you.

Idiolect

Language
Contact
Language in use
Lingua Francas
Pidgins & Creoles
Multilingualism
Idiolect
Unique language characteristics of individual speakers (p. 279)
Imitation is not normal, nor does it show individual aspects
450 to 850 million English idiolects
Unique language use in groups depends on the degree of anticipation of shared meaning (Bernstein)
Restricted codes
Shared set of assumptions
Predictable language, less expression needed
Elaborated codes
Unshared perspectives
Less predictable language, more elaboration needed
Research Moment:
Data Gathering
On your own, on scratch paper, take about 5 minutes to write down paragraph responses to the following questions. Write as if you were talking to a friend.
What is the biggest problem with parking at CSUN?
What is one of your favorite movies or books, and why?
Research Moment:
Data Analysis
Now, in groups of 2 or 3, compare your data
For Q1, analyze sentences w/similar meanings
How is the language similar?
How is the language different?
For Q2, analyze the attempt at conveying meaning
What language makes the meaning clear?
What language needs further explanation?
Results
In a restricted code situation, how does an idiolect soften strictly repetitive language?
In an elaborated code situation, how does an idiolect interfere with language comprehension?
Dialect
Mutually intelligible forms of a language that differ in systematic ways (p. 279)
All speakers speak at least one dialect
Language – collection of dialects
Max Weber – language is a dialect with an army and a navy
Language vs. dialect?
Dialect continuum
Dialect area – concentration of differences
Isogloss – estimated boundary of dialect area
Regional dialects often have geographical boundaries
Ethnic identity
Dialects tend to increase, even with media influence
Dialect Characteristics
How can we tell dialects apart?
Phonology: Accents
r-drop – fath-er vs. fath-uh (New England)
Ask vs. aks (AAVE)
r-final – idea vs. idear (Chinese, near Beijing)
Syntax: Verbs, usually
Then she come a-runnin’ (Appalachian)
He been married vs. He Been married! (which one is still married?) (AAVE)

As mentioned before, having all the characteristics of the approaches gives an overall of all the roles that the participants of the teaching-learning process have to play regarding the aim of the method, giving to the teacher a more complete analysis of the different approaches and what they can offer to teacher's performance.
When you compare two elements and their characteristics, is easier to visualize similarities and differences, and in the case of the approaches is easier to different the different aspects of the concepts involved, therefore identifying what's the role of the teacher, the student and the ability makes a way easier when it comes the time to pick up the role that the teacher would like to play or the ability that the teacher would like to emphasize, always based on the type of students, so the content can be presented in a more close and effective way.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
